How can I migrate users and groups from
my NT 4.0 domain to a Windows 2000 Domain?
The Active Directory Migration Tool
provides an easy, secure, and fast way to migrate to Windows 2000
Active Directory service. As a system administrator, you can use
this tool to diagnose any possible problems before starting
migration operations to Windows 2000 Server Active Directory. You
can then use the task-based wizard to migrate users, groups, and
computers; set correct file permissions; and migrate Microsoft
Exchange Server mailboxes. The tool's reporting feature allows you
to assess the impact of the migration, both before and after move
operations.
In many
cases, if there is a problem, you can use the rollback features to
automatically restore previous structures. The tool also provides
support for parallel domains, so you can maintain your existing
Windows NT 4.0 domains while you deploy Windows 2000.
Note: To successfully run
the AD Migration Tool the source domain must be running Windows NT
4.0 Service Pack 4 or later, and the target domain will be a Windows
2000-based domain in Native mode.
